Derided and maligned more than any other Greek artist for his
innovative and, at the time, often incomprehensible modernist
experiments, Engonopoulos is today justifiably regarded as one of
the most original artists of his generation and as a unique figure
in Greek letters. Though he considered himself first a painter and
only afterwards a poet, his poetry is widely read and admired, with
many critical studies of his work appearing in recent years and
with a growing recognition of its value and of its creative use of
the Greek tradition and language. He enriched post-war Greek poetry
with a host of poetic expressions, figures and images that have
come to constitute part of the Greek poetic consciousness. In both
his painting and poetry, he created a peculiarly Greek surrealism,
a blending of the Dionysian and Apollonian, though always in
keeping with basic surrealist tenets and, as such, his work is an
important and original contribution not only to Modern Greek art
and poetry but also to modern art and poetry worldwide.
